FAQ
Why does CannyMinute need Accessibility?
It is required to detect checkout screens in third-party apps and browsers so the pause screen appears at the right moment.
What data is stored?
Settings and local event decisions. Screen text is not stored unless diagnostics is turned on by you.
Can I pause or disable protection?
Yes. You can toggle protection off, use a one-hour pause, or allow-list specific apps.
What if it triggers at the wrong time?
You can continue after the cooldown and help tune behavior through optional diagnostics.
